Telekol's Integrax Gives Business Users Access and Management of
Messages Through the Web
WALTHAM, Mass., Jun 7, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE via COMTEX) --
Providing Web support to its signature unified messaging application
IntegraMail is indicative of Telekol's focused commitment to integrating all of
its products to the Web and leveraging the efficiencies and cost-savings the
Internet offers. Says Ram Metser, president of Telekol: "We are standing on
the threshold of an exciting new industry - Intelligent Communications. The
companies that serve this industry will be challenged to provide complex
solutions that 'intelligently' handle communications between a customer and a
business, leveraging the power of the Internet and emerging converged
networks.
"IntegraX is the only platform," continues Metser, "that can offer today to users
accessibility and management of messages and calls regardless of whether
they're using the regular telephone network or the Internet. Network
convergence is coming because of the cost-savings and effectiveness that can
be realized. Our IntegraX is built for existing and emerging networks and
technologies, and supports a growing body of applications that add significant
value to their users. Our unified messaging, intelligent call processing, and
transaction processing solutions are the most advanced in the marketplace
today."
IntegraNet provides access and management of voice messages, e-mails, and
faxes stored on a Microsoft Exchange server. Mailbox owners can access and
manage their messages from any Internet-connected PC, using any major Web
browser. IntegraNet uses streaming audio based on standard protocols, and
works in conjunction with Microsoft Outlook Web access. Leveraging the
look and feel of the Microsoft Outlook or Exchange Inbox interface, Telekol
has added special icons and message header information to display the
message type, sender, subject, date, and the time the message was received.
"Telekol's seamless integration of their unified messaging solution with
Outlook's interface, and further providing Web access to these powerful tools,
gives knowledge workers exciting new ways to access information stored in
Exchange Server, the leading platform for unified messaging today," says Dave
Malcolm, group product manager for Exchange Server. "With access to
information virtually anywhere in the world regardless of what device is
available to them, companies can increase their customer responsiveness and
overall competitiveness."
Targeted to the mobile professional or user who works from a remote
location, IntegraNet is also ideal for users on shared PCs, who are assured of
privacy because IntegraNet does not download messages to the client, using
instead streaming audio. Users not only just view their messages, but also
manage them regardless of which device they're using:
--with access from the phone users can listen to voice messages, hear e-mails
through text-to-speech technology, and forward faxes to a fax machine
convenient to the caller
--with access from a PC, users can listen to voice messages if their PC is
sound-enabled and read e-mails and faxes
Message management is in the complete control of the user. Whether by
phone or PC, users can delete messages, organize them by a range of options
such as type or date, and send messages mixing media as necessary, such as
attaching a voice mail to an e-mail message. IntegraNet is offered on its
IntegraX Enterprise platform. Telekol is the first company to offer a unified
messaging solution integrated with Microsoft's Exchange, Outlook, and Inbox,
and the first to offer Internet access and management of unified messaging.
